Bank Insurance
Bill Is Passed
House Approves Measure Postpon
ing Permanent Deposit Insurctnce
1 Washington—Thlq house pushed
: Jong step nearer the statute books
mother of President Roosevelt’s
blinking bills—oaic' postponing per
tinent deposit insurance until
l July 1, 1935, and continuing the
.'resent company plane
It adopted virtually unanimous
ly a conference report compromis
ing differences bttwkpn house and
senate on the bill. When the sen
ate approve* the report, the mejis
urb will go to the President for his
signature.
Without this legislation, perma
nent deposit insurance^ guarantee
ing 100 par cent deposits up to
,10,000, would become effective!
the first of next month. But ad
ministration officials hold the
banks and the Federal Deposit In
mrance) corporation are not ttiady
to put the permanent plan into ef
relt immediately; so the extension
bill was passed.
POISONED GUM
.Sacremento, Calif. — Ch<fwing
i;um, with "enough poison on it to
kill a dozen persons” was left on
the porch of Mrs. Georgia Mc
Kenzie. >n an envelop^ on which
was typed the word "Sample.”
Becoming suspicious when the
cum burned her tongue on touch,
health officials proifoOncdd it
poison. Similar packages of gum
were left on porches of throe other
homes nearby.
The taxpayer should not holler
too loud, for if he makes too much
noise it may suggest that he has
some mondy loft, and they may
levy still more taxes on him.
Austria is called the powder bar
rel of Europd, and when we go
iround and gaze at the facds of the
women and girls, it would seem as
ir the United States might well be
called thi face powder barrdl of the
world.

Caring for the Teeth
An unclean mouth takes the edge
off one’s appetite. Sore gums and
painful teeth naturally curb a de
sire to eat and encourage bolting.
Observations seem
to indicate that we
overlook these facts
too frequently when
dealing with chil
dren. A look into a
child’s mouth wouid
be revealing to many
parents.
i roper care of the teeth is a two
fold matter. Teeth ought to be ex
amined regularly by a dentist and
his instructions followed. He will
tell you that food is the important
factor in preventing tooth decay.
The chief foods for teeth are the
so-called “protective foods”—milk,
fruits and vegetables. Do not de
prive a child of any of these if
you wish him to have sound, even
teeth.
A child should also be taught to
care for his own teeth. Brushing
the teeth and gums is an important
habit, though we do not any long
er believe that cleanliness alone will
prevent tooth decay. Nevertheless
it is as important as washing the
face or hands and every child
should learn it early in life.
Dental caries, or decay of the
teeth, has been called the most
prevalent disease in America. It
is estimated that 90 to 95 per cent
of all children have it. Parents, by
proper care, can prevent much of it.
Summer vacation time approach
es. Dr. Ireland will discuss its
special problems next week.

GHOULS RAID CRYPT

tragedy until the following day.
The couple was not aware of the
tragedy.

Printed percale is the first choice
for a dress of this type for it is a

a nice trimming.

CA. June 4 <vla Mackay Radio)
—And what do you think we are up
to nowT Archery, no less!
We are not actually shooting ar
rows around yet but we are going
to. Last night Commander Nonrllle
announced that. If we have any
time at all to play after the sun
comes back next August, we are
going to have an archery contest.
Our dog sled men and Edgar Cox,
our carpenter, are making a complete
outfit of bows and arrows and, arch
ery being one of the most difficult
and scientific of sports. It appeals
hugely to this particular crowd. 1
tnougni mere
might be a pecu
liar problem con
nected with our
archery activities
but the crowd
last night quickly
solved It. it oc
curred to me that
11 anybody shot
at a target an<f
missed It. the ar
Richard B. Black, row would travel
of Grand Forks, along under the
N. O., Surveyor snow and never
. be found. 1 mentioned this and It
was decided to hang a couple of big
pieces of heavy canvas In back of
the targets and thus make the ai>
rows drop gently onto the snow.
So watch out for details of the tour
nament of the South Pole Archery
League three or four months from
now.
We have lots of other tourna
ments. Half our members ‘ are
bridge fiends and long and loud are
the arguments and "post mortems"
after our evening games of “con
tract." We brought down with us
48 sets of the fascinating and tan
talizing number puzzle, "Imp," and.
In addition to the time spent Indi
vidually working out the various
combinations, we are going to have
some regular contests for prizes.
Some of the scientists have become
very expert. Backgammon is an
othei of our favorite pastimes in
the evening. We also have movies
frequently and do a lot of reading.
The scientists practically never quit
working, night or day. And the way
they can concentrate on deep prob
lems of astronomy, or some other
weighty subject. In a room full of
men talking about baseball, the
atres, movies and a million other
topics ts wonderful. Most of our
daytimes are occupied with school
i_____
work—lectures and study on the
scores of things necessary for us to
know down here. These studies
have a somewhat greater value
with us now than our work did
when we were In school or college
The knowledge of some little fact
of climate, or trick of the Ice, may
save our lives some day.
You should hear some of the dls
cusslons that take place. They are
all held In loud voices and range
from deep and sensible philosophy
on life to ridiculous theories about
gardening, golf, and keeping tropi
cal fish or stamps. Speaking of
stamps, some of the people who
sent covers down here last yea;
should be receiving them back
about now. properly cancelled, and
our own first letters should be ar
riving. About a third of the mall
we brought with us or which ar
rived on the Bear of Oakland, went
back on her In February and should
be reaching Its destination at this
time. The rest will come out with
us next February—If we come out
Every night there is a long loud
discussion—entirely futile—on the
probable date when the good old
flagship, Jacob Ruppert, will come
steaming back to take us home
Will the Ice pack h% too thick and
tough for her to get through? II
so we shall have to spend at least
another winter on the ice—maybe
two or three. Gosh, what a thought!
But It’s a possibility.
uur outdoor wont is ail over now
and we are definitely Indoors for
the next three months—prisoners oi
the storms and darkness—except In
the few calm hours when we can
take short, torchllghted walks oi
ski trips for novelty and exercise
The various groups are tremend
ously busy making definite plane
lor the flights, tractor trips, dog
sledge journeys and other explore
tlons and scientific quests next
spring (autumn with you). These
plans will be published here during
the winter night—and then theyT
all be changed. Such Is Ufa among
explorers!

TO HAVE NEW FACE
Beckley, W. Va.—Garland R.
Snuffer, 22, of Glen White, had
the misfortunld to have his fore
head. chfcdk and chin sheared away
by a circular saw in a lumber mill
recently. Surgeons plan to begin
the work of building a new face
for Snuffer in a wee'k or so with
the aid of plastic surgery.
Claimed that many highly edu
cated young peppla don’t know
how to do anything. Anyway,
they usually know how to get
money out of father.
